Who we are
About the farm
Our cheese company was founded in 1984 by Marc Robertson at Soppit Farm near Elsdon as the Redesdale Sheep Dairy; since 1996 we have been based in a converted 19th-century granary on the Blagdon Estate in south Northumberland. In our dairy we handmake farmhouse cheeses from local Northumberland cows' milk, goats' milk from a single herd in Yorkshire and sheep's milk from Lancashire; we produce about 1 tonne of cheese a week with almost 30 staff. All our cheeses are pasteurised and vegetarian; our bestsellers are Northumberland Nettle, Northumberland Oak-Smoked and Brinkburn. We welcome visitors to our Cheese Loft Café and shop above the working dairy, sell our cheese online, at farmers' markets and to the trade, and run dairy tours by advance booking.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
